The American Red Cross has an urgent need for blood and platelet donors to give now to ensure blood is avail- able for medical treatments and emergencies during the holiday season. Blood and platelet dona- tions often decline during the holidays. Regular donors are busy with holiday activi- ties, and travel and severe winter weather may cause blood drive cancellations. Yet donations remain critical for patients like 4-year-old Wy- att Monacelli who is in the midst of intense chemother- apy treatments for leukemia. He has received a number of transfusions since his diag- nosis in June and will likely need more. “We are fortunate to have had so many donors give the gift of life to our child so far throughout the course of his treatment, and even more so, we are lucky to have had a supply of blood available for him when he needed it,” said Julianna Monacelli, Wyatt’s mother. Donors are urged to give now to ensure that families like Wyatt’s don’t have to worry about the availability of blood this winter. In thanks for helping meet the urgent need around the holidays, all Blood needed for children like Wyatt those who come to donate blood or platelets now through Dec. 19, 2018, will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email. (Restrictions apply; see amazon.com/gc-legal. More information and details are available at RedCrossBlood. org/Together.) Make an appointment to donate blood or platelets by downloading the free Ameri- can Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood. org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Place them in sealed plastic bags and put them in your garbage.” The reason to take these precautions is boxwood blight, a fungal disease found in Wisconsin for the first time this past July. Although it’s been detected in only one nursery in southeastern Wis- consin, boxwood decorations may come from other states that have the disease. State plant health officials are on the lookout and would like holiday decorators to do the same. Boxwood is popular in landscaping as an evergreen shrub. Unlike most other ev- ergreens, it has tiny leaves rather than needles. All the holly not so jolly The Beacon – mailed to every home in Sheboygan

If you’re decorating with boxwood wreaths or boughs this holiday season, watch where you place them and be sure to dispose of them properly when January rolls around.

“If you decorate with box-wood, keep it away from boxwood or Pachysandra plantings in your yard,” says Brian Kuhn, director of the Plant Industry Bureau in the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Con-sumer Protection. “At the end of the season, don’t compost the decorations. Place them in sealed plastic bags and put them in your garbage.”

The reason to take these precautions is boxwood blight, a fungal disease found in Wisconsin for the first time this past July. Although it’s been detected in only one nursery in southeastern Wis-consin, boxwood decorations may come from other states that have the disease. State plant health officials are on the lookout and would like holiday decorators to do the same.

Boxwood is popular in landscaping as an evergreen shrub. Unlike most other ev-ergreens, it has tiny leaves rather than needles.
